I’m Going Home!
Now that my floor is less cluttered, I’ve taken to putting Chip on the floor so he can have some free range time. He never really gets to walk around that much, and it’s absolutely adorable to watch him waddle around because his chunky backside shakes when he walks and he barely has any actual leg attached to his feet.
I don’t close his cage door when I take him out because he struggles when he’s in the air and his toes are incredibly sharp, which equals a stab fest on my arms. That, and I just don’t really care enough about that tiny detail.
Apparently Chip does, however, because last night (and today) I watched him wander right off the pad, sniff around, waddle straight over to his cage and jump in. Yes, he jumped in. Never mind that the cage door is two inches off the ground and guinea pigs have poor backs, but somehow he managed it. And he did it a couple times today too, which became rather annoying when I was trying to get him to eat some food that I laid out for him. Apparently he likes standing around in his own poop more.
All I know is, he’s cleverer than I gave him credit for. What else has he kept from me?!

Chip can be adorable when he wants to be, but sometimes he can be a little booger. He’s over a year old and he still hasn’t learned the difference between carrots and toes yet!
